Enclosed Face Shield Hood Pattern Tutorial

I have been worrying a lot about our re-entry to school and daily life, since there are still so many questions about how contagious and dangerous the COVID-19 virus is. In an attempt to stop wallowing in my worry, I got to work coming up with a pattern for a fully-enclosed fabric hood and clear plastic face shield.

• Made from materials that are easily accessible and inexpensive.
• Uses a baseball cap as the support structure, which allows for a more comfortable and cool fit.
• Allows the wearer's face to be seen (important for lip reading and speech).
• Causes minimal glasses fog.
• Washable for repeated use.
• Has a double layer of fabric, with no gaps, to prevent germ transmission.
• NOT for hospital or medical use.
• NOT OSHA certified.
• Pattern is FREE to download and use for non-commerical, personal production.

RESOUCES:

I purchased the plastic (polycarbonate) from TAP Plastics. One sheet can be cut into enough for 12 shields and costs around $13 for the sheet.
